Yes. It will lend a whole new meaning to the term "System Crash".

...can you imagine how awful it would be to see people watching and trading the stocks while driving...

I think they will have talking computers and speech recognition down by then, so you can keep looking forward and driving while you are talking to your computer to trade the stocks.

I wonder if that will qualify you for the carpool lane...

Dear Lucinos, it's already dangerous on the highway. Have you noticed those people who talk on their cells why they drive and/or dictate notes to their transcribers. It is already possible to connect Palm Pilot 3 to your brokerage account, watch real-time quotes and trade.

All the problems will get sorted out somehow.
:D

Cheers,

Mephisto

I have a big concern on wireless. If every car has a computer that is connected to the internet, can
you imagine how awful it would be to see people watching and trading the stocks while driving. It
can be very dangerous to all of us.


Not to mention, PORN (although it could cut down on people slowing the flow of traffic passing by accidents).
